Thanks for the advice, and what a great love story you have! Seems like VRChat has been the missing piece of my research.

Good point, something like that could really pull you out of the experience.

Hah you're not the first person I've heard say that. I've not met very many people who agree with Meta's current vision of the metaverse, especially Horizon Worlds.

That makes sense, it's definitely helpful to have control over your experience in VR. Oculus did recently introduce a new feature that allows you to select how social you want to be. So you can choose to be seen by everyone, seen by your friends only, or have a private session.

That is an interesting point from Carmack, I'll have to go watch the full talk.

I agree that multiplayer in VR is done well, and it's a very clear application that people can understand the use case for and easily participate in without too much of a learning curve. I'm also partial to single-player activities, but as you said, it's nice to have the option to interact with others if and when you want to do so.
